"Technically, I became a star with my first film, Phool Aur Kaante (1991), and after that, I didn’t have
to look back. I am a star, and have always been."

"During the course of my career, I’ve broken ankles, knees, damaged hipbones, ruptured arteries and
veins, even a part of my arm was partially paralysed once. To date, I get bouts of neck pain from
spondylitis…  It’s a price I’ve had to pay for all the crazy stunts I’ve done in my films. It’s part and
parcel of the life of an action hero."

"I do like to fallow my heart. I'm not very confused ever in my life. Either when I hear something, or if I
have to do something, I listen to it, I decide to do it, or I don't. So there are no if's and but's 'and so will
se what happens'."

"My parents are my source of strength,especially my father. He worked very hard and my mother showed
me the right way. Upbringing is very important for children. Also, a person of strength is one who makes
the right decision at the right time and can stick to it."

"I've been very lucky and didn't have to struggle much except for hard work. No one can become anything
without hard work."

"In the industry, you do need some ethics - if one film does well, then thousands get work and money
comes back to the industry. I guess the bottomline is, if there are two versions, then the better one will
click."

"As far as I know, if you take your time, write a good script and make a good film, then give the audience
time, they will accept it."

"I don't see the risk, I enjoy performing stunts, and I don't get scared."

"I'm going to keep making films I believe in. Whether I am successful or not is besides the point."

"There're so many things I want to do, like become more media savvy. I am too lazy. But I'm making
an effort."

"You get an image after you act in a film, but it is not necessary that you last long because of that image."

"So it is fair enough that you are paying me what I ask for, because it is my name you are using to sell
the film. If the producer gives me a guarantee that he will sell the film at a lower price to the distributors,
fair enough, then I will charge less!"

"I don't like the phase of promoting my films as I find it very boring. I don't think anybody likes the
phase of promoting films, because you end up answering the same questions over and over again.
There is no creative thought process involved and beyond a point it does get boring."

"I think one just needs to be happy and keep the other person happy. There is no secret mantra to
a successful marriage, you just have to give other person as much importance and respect all your
life. One just has to believe in commitment and things go right."

"I don’t have a set exercise schedule. I’m casual about my workouts. Just one and half hour every day
coupled with a quality diet is good enough for me. I follow the tough regime only if I am shooting bare
body scenes for a film. Then you really have to kick into action, otherwise I skip intense workouts more
often than not. I strongly believe no one can look perfect throughout the year. It’s just not healthy.
You can be fit but you can’t look 100 per cent flawless all the time. There are times when your body will
not be healthy. Denying your body its natural cycle and tendencies is not healthy."

"Thankfully I just have two bad habits. I smoke a lot and I drink too much alcohol. I’ve tried to contain
the alcohol. Now I take two to three drinks a day. I don’t recommend drinks to any one. (Laughs) I
drink because it helps me relax. I have no solution for my smoking. The doctors and my family are
after me to quit."
